Incredible: The average CEO makes 287 times more than their median employee.
And it's in large part thanks to President Trump's tax law.
When Trump and Republicans cut taxes for corporations and the mega-rich, they incentivized another stock-buying frenzy. Instead of investing in their workers, corporations used profits from the Republican tax cut to buy back company stock.
CEOs earned $14.5 million on average last year, while the federal minimum wage remains stagnate at a paltry $7.25. And CEOs averaged a staggering $500,000 compensation increase, while the average employee barely got more than $1,000.
The pay gap is unacceptable.
It's time to change that: Add your name to mine if you agree it's time to increase the federal minimum wage.

Workers are more productive than ever -- a driving force behind corporations' success -- but they aren't getting their fair share.
Add your name and demand that Trump and Republicans stop giving handouts to the super-wealthy and start paying workers their fair share.
